What's New?

Also, I'm excited about my upcoming Ask a Teen blog post series, during which I'll interview several teens to see life from their perspective. Stay tuned to my blog in the coming weeks to read their responses!

Shifter

The sky was rent and all our towering citadels fell, for the Benei had come. With them came wonder—and terror.

Shifter

The sky was rent and all our towering citadels fell, for the Benei had come. With them came wonder—and terror.

-Chronicles of the Order 1:1

The war against the Benei lasted only days. Our armies—with their missiles, aircraft, armaments of wholesale destruction—broke apart against the sharp edge of the Benei’s magic. Our cities fell, the survivors scattered. The Benei secluded themselves into cities to call their own, finding those among us who welcomed their rule.

For fifty years, the Benei remake the world within their enclaves, building a society fashioned for their ends. Surrounding these lands is the Waste, where tribes of wilders—those who refused to come under the Benei’s reign—live in hiding. Lawless and free, they prize only one thing: survival.

It is a world as fixed as granite, roughhewn and unyielding.

But for Eli, everything is poised to shift.
